Pronounced ˈfaɪ̯ərˌaːbənt : Feier (“celebration”) +‎ Abend (“evening”).

Feierabend refers to the eagerly awaited end of the work day and marks the transition from work life to personal life. Often celebrated with a Feierabend beer (Das “Feierabendbierchen”, literally a “party-evening-little-beer”), it symbolizes a healthy work-life balance and is seen as a time to relax, unwind, and spend quality time with people you enjoy while fully disconnecting from any professional responsibilities.
